The only reason I can see for a dev posting a nerf date for this would be to end this discussion. Personally I could care less and I'm a monk =P.
Also - people have been paying insane amounts of money for moss covered twigs which become equally useless in anywhere from a few weeks to a few months - an item is worth what someone will pay for it. You might change your mind about the value of a Robe of Living Fungus if you sat at king for 16 hours + to get everyone in your group one, let alone anything else that he drops.
What makes me most sad about this nerf is that I'm going to lose my cool green robe graphic to the weak blue chainmail graphic. The value of these items is in the regen not any of the other crap on them. If the item had nothing but regen and went in chest slot people would still wear it over other chest pieces with stats.
I can understand changing the rarity of the loot table and nerfing the uber stick. But why take the regen off the robe? Why not just make it his uncommon drop and have the fungi tunic be his common drop? This nerf has baffled me from day one - and from all of my brooding and pondering over the years I could only imagine that the devs would nerf it on this server because it was nerfed on live... and thats classic.
